even though the title of my blog post was said by a british guy in what a girl wants, a movie from 2003, it is still one of my favorites. last week during alpha gam's freshman bible study we were talking about how hard it is to fit in and the reasons why you would want to fit in. going into college, all i wanted to do was make friends. and to make friends, you've got to do the stuff they are doing, wear the clothes they wear, listen to the music they listen to, say what they say, and so on. in our bible study we were talking about WHY we do this to ourselves. jesus is not only our creator, father, and savior, he also wants us to be so close to him that we consider him our best friends. can you even imagine your life if you didn't care what people thought about you because you knew you ALWAYS had the perfect love of jesus? seriously his love is perfect. he is the only thing in the world that is perfect. why would you not invest your time into him every day? he will NEVER let you down. and he obviously created you, so he thinks his creation is great too. you will never have to "win him over" or impress him because he already loves you so much. we have GOT to stop wasting our time trying to win the approval of others, cause at the end of the day, the only person who's opinion matters is the one of jesus. he created us to be salt and light to the world, and i don't know about yall, but that to me means STANDING out and being SET apart. i think that the last thing he would want is his children not being able to be picked out of a group because we blended too well.
just something to think about today.
jesus loves you so much and wants to be your very best friend.
